Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m excited to introduce the latest product in Beauty Cleanse Skincare’s collection. It’s the wonderful Beauty Cleanse Skincare Anti-Pollution Deep Cleansing Oil! As an ambassador for Beauty Cleanse Skincare, I was delighted to be one of the first to try this cleansing oil. I’ve had a week to try it and it’s fast becoming one of my favourite oil cleansers. I know you will love it too, because along with being incredibly effective, it’s also inclusive. Wonderfully suited to all skin types, gender-neutral, vegan, and cruelty-free. Beauty Cleanse Skincare Cleansing Oil is a good choice for our planet too, because it utilises upcycled superfood ingredients that would’ve otherwise gone to waste. Help for stressed out skin and maskne Described by the brand as “a juice cleanse for city skin”, the gentle fragrance-free oil-to-milk cleanser is especially helpful for stressed out and blemish prone skin. And…

“Should you be using Korean beauty products?” is a collaborative post. Korean skincare continues to grow in popularity among consumers in the West, making it one of the fastest-growing markets in the beauty industry. Is the hype real, and if you haven’t yet delved into the world of K-Beauty, should you? In this post, we look at why the K-Beauty trend has quickly evolved into the preferred choice of beauty products for women worldwide. What Is K-Beauty? K-Beauty is the shortened name for the Korean beauty industry and it is seriously BIG business in Korea and it has now started to dominate the global beauty industry in recent years. In South Korea, it’s believed that women spend twice as much on beauty products as their counterparts in the West. The trend has grown right alongside that of K-Pop, the Korean pop industry of world-famous music groups such as BTS. Like…

Hello again, skincare lover! Today I want to talk about using face oils for winter skincare. Winter is a troublesome time for skin. But it’s not just the cold temperature that bites. Dry winter air robs skin of vital moisture, leading to dehydration. Sadly, problems like eczema and psoriasis are worsened in colder months. But adding a face oil to your winter routine morning and night protects and nourishes your skin. It can improve and strengthen the skin barrier so that skin is better defended from the elements. And what’s more, face oils address specific skin concerns. For dry skin, using a face oil regularly can reduce dry patches and minimise fine lines. For acne prone skin, face oils can help calm the inflammation. And all skins benefit from the anti-ageing benefits of face oils. Sounds worth it, right? So, let’s talk about 3 of my very favourite face oils…

Hello again, my beauty friend! And welcome to my December 2020 natural beauty empties! What a year was 2020. It goes without saying that it’s been hugely challenging. Like many, I’ve found it helpful to try and focus on the positives. We’ve learned more about ourselves in 2020 than any other year, discovering just how strong and resilient we are. Life might not be exactly as we want it to be, but we can embrace what we do have. Time with friends and family is limited, but the limitation is reducing the spread of the virus. And it won’t last forever. Gratitude turns what we have into enough. – Anonymous 2020, you helped me to scale back my expectations; to celebrate the little moments of calm and reflection. And I really appreciated the extra time I had for self-care and wellness activities. Yet, I am so very glad to move…

Welcome back, my friend. I hope you had a great Christmas? Today, I’m sharing an ever so glamorous and relaxing New Year’s Eve manicure with nail care game changers Kure Bazaar! New Year’s Eve with small children is certainly different to when I was in my twenties. But whether or not we venture out for the night, I absolutely love getting into the party spirit at home. For me, that includes making my nails look really glamorous on the run up to the new year. But, it’s not just about the final look. I want to share with you a beautiful hand and nail manicure routine that’ll have you feeling so relaxed and soothed into the new year. All using natural nail care including that from Kure Bazaar. I tried the Kure Bazaar Pompom Nail File, Ginger Nail Balm, and limited edition Diva Nail Polish. Would you like to learn…

Welcome back, beauty lover! Today, I’m sharing my at-home spa day with Martina Gebhardt! Christmas preparations are tiring this mama out. I’m sure you can relate? When life gets like this, I like to schedule in some down time – just for me. To help me take that precious time, my husband took our children to see their grandma so I could have an afternoon of recharging and regrouping. Visiting a spa is one of my favourite things to do. But with us being in tier 3, it doesn’t make much sense to visit a spa. Nor is it something I can afford to do at the frequency I need to do it! But with a few select skincare items and some spare time, I can definitely make the experience real at home! Even if I only have a face mask, I can recreate the spa mood to help me…

Welcome back, beauty lover! It’s no surprise that coronavirus and its economic impact has had a devastating effect on small businesses, so it’s never been more important to shop small natural beauty stores. Now more than ever is the time to get together by supporting small, family-run, and independent local stores! We can really make a difference to the families who own and run them. I’ve used a few small shops in my time as a blogger, so I thought it would be nice to share them with you here. With so much choice, it’s good to know the stores you can trust and who share the same ethics of natural, clean, sustainable, and ethical. I hope you’ll see that it’s easy to find thoughtful gifts with a conscience! These are stores that don’t only sell their own products, but products from several brands, offering a wider choice and some…
